Fix bug in detecting concurrent page splits in GiST insert

In commit 9eb5607e69, I got the condition on checking for split or
deleted page wrong: I used && instead of ||. The comment correctly said
"concurrent split _or_ deletion".

As a result, GiST insertion could miss a concurrent split, and insert to
wrong page. Duncan Sands demonstrated this with a test script that did a
lot of concurrent inserts.

Backpatch to v12, where this was introduced. REINDEX is required to fix
indexes that were affected by this bug.
